WATCH: Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal and Man Utd starlets set to light up the Premier League

WITH another Premier League season just around the corner, fans of Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool, Everton and Southampton have reason for optimism as their young talent could light up the world's greatest league over the next 10 months.

Chelsea's colossal defender Kurt Zouma joined the Blues for £12m in January and could evolve into a rock at the heart of Jose Mourinho's defence for years to come.

Manchester United made Luke Shaw the world's most expensive teenager with a £30m transfer from Southampton over the summer.

The 19-year-old has impressed in pre-season, marauding down the left-hand side of Louis van Gaal's 3-5-2 formation, and could be a potent threat for the Red Devils next term.

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has revealed he is planning to convert Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain into a creative central midfielder and it could turn out to be an inspired decision.

The Ox suffered a string of injuries last season but will hope to get more playing time as he develops and matures this year.

John Stones and Ross Barkley are exciting Evertonians and attracting admiring glances from other clubs.

With both penning long-term deals at Goodison Park, the Toffees could become a force to be reckoned with over the next few years if they can keep hold of these two.

Thibaut Courtois is widely regarded as the best young keeper in the world and Chelsea fans will be excited to see if he can depose the legendary Petr Cech as the No.1 at Stamford Bridge.

Jon Flanagan and Philippe Coutinho are looking to become mainstays in Liverpool's starting XI while Raheem Sterling has quickly established himself as one of the most exciting young forwards on the planet.

Southampton have produced a number of incredible talents over the years and while many have left the club, James Ward-Prowse could benefit from increased exposure and opportunities at St Mary's.
